Stuff You Should Know

That rare Costa Rican resort actually on a beach? Don’t get too excited – the waves are more paddling pool than Pacific. Beach vendors add local color whether you want it or not. Corporate polish means reliable comfort but forgettable personality. Multiple dining venues ensure variety, though you might need Matiss’s sandy-floored bar to help you embrace the bland beauty of it all. Pro tip: If you’re spending Costa Rica money on Costa Rica dreams, consider the nearby Andaz for twice the charm at 1.5 times the price.

Three Restaurants

MAKOKO handles all-day dining with international-meets-local flair, while Matiss’s sand floor tries desperately to remind you you’re in Costa Rica. Malu rounds out the trio with Mediterranean standards that won’t offend anyone’s palate. The variety impresses more than the execution – think reliable rather than remarkable. At least Matiss’s beachfront location and generous pours help you forget you’re essentially in an upscale airport hotel that happened to find a beach.
